Inbox Swipe – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 May 2026

Overview

Inbox Swipe is a Chrome extension that helps you triage your Gmail inbox. We take your privacy seriously — your email data stays between you and Google.

Data we access

Inbox Swipe accesses your Gmail inbox solely to display unread emails in the extension popup and to perform actions you explicitly request (archive, mark as read, reply, skip).

Data we store

We store the following locally on your device only, using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API:

• A temporary cache of fetched email threads (to speed up popup loading)
• Your Gmail label ID for the "Swiped" label

No data is stored on any external server. No data leaves your device except to Google's Gmail API on your behalf.

Data we do not collect

• We do not collect personally identifiable information
• We do not track usage or analytics
• We do not share, sell, or transfer your data to any third party
• We do not use your data for any purpose other than displaying and triaging your own emails

Authentication

Inbox Swipe uses Google OAuth via Chrome's identity API to authenticate you. Your OAuth token is managed by Chrome and is never stored by the extension.
